Patient's question:
Female baby, just 1 year old. In recent weeks, I've noticed that her body is getting fatter, and her appetite is very large. When I ask her to exercise, she doesn't want to. Could you please ask: How should pediatric obesity be treated?Doctor's answer:
Childhood obesity can first involve setting an exercise routine and changing the diet for the child. Arrange swimming, jogging, and other activities within the child's capacity. During this period, let the child eat vegetables that are beneficial for improving obesity, such as winter melon and pea puree. It is essential to strictly prohibit the child from eating high-calorie foods like cakes and chestnuts. Strictly control the child's diet to avoid overeating. More exercise is beneficial for addressing the child's obesity. Parents should closely monitor the child's condition during treatment. If the situation is severe, treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor and not through blind therapy.
